Two people lost their lives during the evening of Aug. 30, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The accident reportedly occurred on state Highway 9 and involved two vehicles. One woman has been taken into custody for alleged drunk driving in this case, and the families of the deceased may be considering filing wrongful death lawsuits in addition to the criminal charges.

Reportedly, a vehicle headed southbound crossed over the line into the northbound lanes. The southbound driver had been witnessed driving erratically, with one witness saying the driver was "swerving all over the road" just prior to the crash.
